On January 31, 2025, Patsy (Pat) Christine Rademacher passed peacefully into the arms of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

She was born February 20, 1931 to Walter Harvey Martin and Ester Pearl Martin in Indian Creek, Texas. She was raised a country girl in Brownwood, Texas.

She married the love of her life Harold (Buff) Rademacher on October 26, 1952. They have two children, Linda Orellana of College Grove, Tennessee and Bill Rademacher of Houston, Texas.
